Linda's somewhat disjointed, frantic story about something attacking her in an underwater cave which killed her partner and destroyed her boat is misconstructed by Kay Morgan, an ambitious, publicity seeking newspaper reporter, who creates a media frenzy by starting rumors about a "creature in the bay." Harvey Miller, the new lifeguard and prankster, benefits from the events by selling undersea creature T-shirts. Meanwhile, Shauni rescues a young girl from drowning and soon becomes compelled to rescue the girl, her brother and their mother from the life they live in the slums of South-Central L.A., much to Eddie's chagrin. While Shauni deals with her possessive father who disapproves of her lifeguard job, Mitch also pressures Captain Thorp to ask for funding for new advanced motorboats, called Scarabs, for the team.。20世纪80年代初,南非正面临着种族隔离政策的恐怖时代。在士昆达市南非炼油厂担任领班的黑人帕特里克·察莫索(德里克·卢克),是一个典型的居家好男人--他深爱自己的妻子普莉希丝(邦妮·亨娜),还是两个小女儿慈爱的父亲,若是有空闲,他还给当地的少年足球队当教练,丝毫不卷入沸沸扬扬的政治纷争。
然而,种族隔离的残酷暴虐越来越激起民众愤慨,在激进组织非洲民族议会党的召集下,越来越多的黑人开始反抗隔离,政局动荡日益频繁。身为南非隔离象征的炼油厂,自然成为了暴力破坏的对象。6月的一天,炼油厂发生了炸弹袭击事件,老实本分、全然无辜的帕特里克却涉嫌被捕,因为没有不在场证据,被关押在警局的帕特里克受到了严刑拷打,到后来,连妻子也被投入狱、受尽折磨。
虽然最终得到释放,但帕特里克却再也不是曾经那个天真的自己,他对社会和政府的信仰完全被颠覆。很快,他背井离乡加入了非洲民族议会党,成为了真正的反叛斗士。为了家庭,为了人民,也为了南非,变化必须也必然到来,帕特里克无所畏惧,积极参与各种反种族隔离的武装行动,为南非种族隔离时代的结束立下了汗马功劳。。
